Hey The home team's gone away So now I type away I miss the summer day alone with nothing left to write
Breaking every law People go out of their way to miss my character flaw It's the flawiest flaw
Aren't you the guy who hit me in the eye? Aren't you the guy who hit me in the eye?
Triangle Man, Triangle Man Triangle Man hates Person Man They have a fight, Triangle wins
This is the worst part Could believe for all the world That you're my precious little girl
You were promised fair And in response a clap of thunder broke the air The weather changed
Mysterious whisper Mysterious whisper Mysterious whisper Mysterious whisper
My evil twin Bad weather friend I know some day I'll meet him But I don't know where or when
When they look back and weigh everything he's done They will realize: Nixon's the one
The day is done The sun is down The curtains have been drawn And darkness has descended over everything in town
You're not the boss of me now You're not the boss of me now You're not the boss of me now
I hear a new world (I hear a new world) Calling me (calling me)
Oh, let me tell you about my operation Doctors declared I'm better now Our liaison—oh, it was poison, baby!
F: And it's performed by some friends of ours called the Deeply Felt Puppet Theater.
If Day is for everyone Not just for Winnipeg If Day is for everyone from now on
Can you pay my bills? Can you pay my telephone bills? Do you pay my automo' bills? If you did then maybe we could chill
Who'll teach me drama? Who'll be my acting coach? I love the theater I'm Dr. Kildare!
Don’t wake up the hibernating bear He’ll spend all winter there Asleep
Oh who has heard the great commotion, motion, motion All the country through? It is the ball a-rolling on
